On this pg I scraped paint leftover from other pgs- then I used the 12x12 flower stencil from crafters workshop.The image and the ticket are from a swap with the gypsy angel- Kim.

This pg also has some stuff from Kim- lots of fun!

ICAW #9 and some more pgs

ICAW #9

I just added a few things to my stenciled pg.

And here is another bathing beauty- I used punchnella and tried to make it look like bubbles. I love these girls! Time for me to check out my stencil class- Happy Wednesday!

more pgs

I just LOVE this stencil! I used different colors of acrylic paint through the stencil, then sponged a bit more atound the edges to finish it off.

This pg is a little weird I think. Of course I scraped paint first. Then I dribbled som black ink and blew on it so it would run. Then I dribbled some plum color wash spray ink and blew on it. After it all dried I decided to stencil some bright flowers in yellow acrylic. You can see though that where the paint is on the color wash ink it bleeds through. I like the way it turned out, but it was unexpected. I'm taking Julie Balzer's stencil class. Haven't actually been able to start yet- I'm hoping to feel well enough today to start. I'm really enjoying using stencils- there's tons you can do with them!

Happy Monday!

I'm back kind of...

Here are a few pgs I did before my health crisis

On this one I painted acrylic first the stenciled a bunch of things, then sprayed over another stencil.

On this pg I painted first then stenciled ART. Then I stamped with a kind od wave stamp I got at a yard sale. When that was all dry, I outlined the ART with my perma ball pen, the used puffy orange paint on the waves and green glitter paint on the waves. Fun new things for me.

Here is the cover of another composition journal. I had lots of fun just adding color and using all kinds of stencil things.

That's all for today. I thank everyone for all th kind commnets on my health. I am finally home from the hospital after an emergency from my previous gal bladder surgery- pretty tramatic for all of us here. I feel pretty weak as this my first day home, but I did actually do some art! With my daughter's supervision :) Have a great weekend!

Happy weekend!

I'm doing the art journal every day again, but somehow I managed to delete all my buttons on the side bar!!! :(

Here's some more pages:

This one has an image from a magazine and the butterfly is a wall sticker from the dollar store. I still love scraping acrylic paint on the page first!

This another image fro a magazine, but I used watercolor crayon on her dress and colored in her lips with a felt pen. The stamp I got at Walmart for 97 cents. Always love a bargain :)

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

More journal pages and some news!

This is my first attempt at carving my own stamp- so the black is the stamp and it wasn't exactly what I was planning but it came out okay. I used an eraser.

This one I did the background by rubbing a stamp pad over it lightly. Isn't the image funny?! I love it and I got that from the Graphic Fairy- I colored it in with chalks.

This background I did by painting it with watered down acrylic then using a baby wipe to make the white areas. The trees are die cuts from our local scapbook store.

NOW for the news-Geri of myheartart has started a new blog for artists- it's like a directory to find others who do different kinds of art.I'm excited to be a part of it! You can still join up too. It's artseebloggers.com

Go take a look!

I'm having a blast doing thes journal pages! On this one I used my Crafters Workshop stencil with gesso before I painted over it. At first I didn't like it because I couldn't see the circles, but after I put down paint I liked it.

This is my first attempt at doing a face- I like it.

This one was fun- I got the vintage girl image from Magic Moonlight free images. The stickers are from Tim Holtz- I love his stuff!

I'm glad to be keeping up, but I think I'm falling behind on household things... :)
